Everyone knew that there were too many people who wanted to kill Niu Youdao. Even if he protected Niu Youdao and left, he might not be able to guarantee Niu Youdao's safety. Moreover, he would never agree to let Niu Youdao leave alone.
"Danger? I can already foresee what will happen to me after a year. Is there anything more dangerous than hiding away and seeking safety? "Niu Youdao retorted.
Wu Zhaoxing knew what he was referring to. If Niu Youdao couldn't get first place in a year, Sha Rulai would kill him. Hiding like this was temporarily safe, but only for a year at most. His tone softened a little. "What are you going to do by yourself?"
Niu Youdao: "The result after a year has already been set by someone. I have no way out …" He pulled out half of the sword in his hand. Under the illumination of the Moon Butterfly, half of the sword flowed like mercury. "I have to do something! As for what, don't ask too much. In short, it's to save my life, not to seek death! "
Wu Zhaoxing was silent. Slowly, he said, "Be careful."
Not long after he left, the person that Niu Youdao wanted was sent by Yan Li. It was a disciple with a similar build to Niu Youdao.
After the disciple entered the tree hole, Niu Youdao quickly exchanged clothes with him. Then, he put on his mask and left, leaving the disciple in the tree hole.
Wu Zhaoxing stood on a branch outside the tree hole and waited. After coming out, Niu Youdao mumbled a few words and left in the direction that Yan Li had arranged for him.
Wu Zhaoxing guarded the entrance of the tree hole and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
…
Yuan Gang received the letter.
Looking at the handwriting, Yuan Gang was sure that it was written by Niu Youdao. After reading it, Yuan Gang destroyed the letter in front of Yu Cang.
Yu Cang asked, "Are you clear about Niu Youdao's arrangements?"
After this, he finally realized that this red-faced guy was Niu Youdao's trusted confidant.
Yuan Gang: "Where is the money?"
The moment he asked this, Yu Cang knew that Niu Youdao had instructed them to do so. He turned his head and Dugu Jing walked up and took out 30 bills from the Bank of the World.
Yuan Gang checked and put it away. Yu Cang asked, "Where's the secret recipe?"
Yuan Gang: "I can't write down the secret recipe in such a short time."
Yu Cang's face darkened. "What do you mean by unclear? There's no need for you to write it. Niu Youdao said that the secret recipe is hidden here. Didn't he tell you where he hid it in his letter? "
Yuan Gang said, "Follow me."
Guan Fangyi, who was in the attic, knew that Yu Cang had arrived. She saw them entering Niu Youdao's courtyard and then coming out. She observed them from above, not knowing what they were up to.
Yuan Gang led Yu Cang and his disciple straight to the cave where the wine was made. Not long after, Yuan Fang also ran over to the wine.
Yuan Fang was anxious when he heard the news. When he found out that Yuan Gang had brought an outsider into the place where the wine was made, he quickly ran over.
When he saw Yuan Gang in the cave, Yuan Fang asked anxiously, "Master Yuan, what is going on? Why did you bring someone in?"
Yuan Gang: "Tell Mr. Yu Cang about the wine making process in detail."
"Ah!" Yuan Fang was shocked. To him, this belonged to him, so how could he tell others? "Daoye isn't here, so you can't break the rules!"
Yuan Gang: "This is what Daoye wants."
Yuan Fang didn't agree, "Master Yuan, don't lie to me. Daoye went to Heaven Capital Secret Realm, so how could it be Daoye's intentions?"
The fragrance of the wine was thick. Yu Cang and his disciple observed the situation in the cave. When the monks saw that outsiders had come, they all stopped what they were doing.
Yuan Gang: "Mr. Yu Cang came from Misty Pavilion. Quick, don't waste time."
Yuan Fang: "How would I know if it is true or not? Master Yuan, without Daoye's approval, I can't agree. "
Yuan Gang stared at him expressionlessly for a while, then slowly raised his hand and grabbed the handle of the Three Roaring Blade on his back, slowly drawing it.
Yuan Fang shivered in fear. In the past, this person only used his fists and legs, but this time, he actually wanted to use a blade. This was too dangerous. Yuan Fang quickly changed his words, "Master Yuan's intentions are what Daoye wants. I understand, I understand."
In fact, he also knew that Yuan Gang also knew the method of wine making. If Yuan Gang really wanted to leak it, Yuan Fang couldn't stop him. In the face of Yuan Gang's threat, he didn't have the confidence to resist, so he could only yield and do as he was told.
Yu Cang and his disciple immediately focused on learning the brewing process, which was more detailed than seeing the secret recipe. During the learning process, they asked in detail, and Dugu Jing even found a pen and paper to record the key points of the brewing process.
By the time they understood the brewing method and tasted the raw liquor, it was already half a day later when they left the cave.
Yu Cang didn't plan to stay long and was about to leave. Yuan Gang, who was sending him off, finally couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to Daoye?"
He knew Niu Youdao very well. He wasn't in urgent need of money, so if he really wanted to sell the secret recipe for money, he wouldn't do it now. He could have made preparations beforehand, but now it seemed more like he was preparing for his funeral. This meant that Daoye encountered something he wasn't confident in, and was preparing severance pay for this side.
Yu Cang was silent for a while, "Didn't he tell you in the letter?"
Yuan Gang, "No."
Yu Cang shook his head slightly, "Since he didn't say, I can't say more. Just wait for him to come back, and you will know when the time comes."
He couldn't casually spread the news of the Misty Pavilion. The situation in Heaven Valley was sealed, and outsiders were forbidden from entering. Therefore, the outside world didn't know what happened in Heaven Valley, and he was the only outsider apart from the Misty Pavilion. Once the news got out, the Misty Pavilion would first suspect him of talking too much.
There was another thing he was worried about. Once the outside world knew that Sha Rulai had forced Niu Youdao into a desperate situation, he didn't know what would happen in the Southern State.
The human heart was unpredictable. If they knew that Niu Youdao couldn't come back, would the people in the Southern State find another way out?
This wasn't what he wanted to see. As long as there was a chance that Niu Youdao would come back, he didn't want the Southern State to be in chaos.
Yuan Gang, "That is to say, something really happened to Daoye?"
Yu Cang, "Don't think too much about it. Something did happen, but it's over now. He is safe for now, and it all depends on whether things go smoothly in the Mysterious Land of Heaven. By the way, I heard that you can cure the Bitter Divine Pill? "The last sentence was meaningful.
Yuan Gang, "I know what you are worried about. In fact, I have never taken the Bitter Divine Pill."
He wouldn't admit this. Niu Youdao had repeatedly told him that this was not a trivial matter. The Bitter Divine Pill was the Waning Moon Pavilion's trump card. If someone could cure it, it would be a taboo of the Waning Moon Pavilion.
Yu Cang frowned. He had asked Niu Youdao about this, and Niu Youdao said the same thing.
This matter had also become a mystery. According to the report from the Qi Capital, Yuan Gang had indeed been given a Bitter Divine Pill, but after the elopement between Su Zhao and Yuan Gang, it was difficult to confirm. In order to help Yuan Gang, it was entirely possible that Su Zhao had done something.
Since Su Zhao had fallen in love with Yuan Gang, he naturally wouldn't watch Yuan Gang suffer like that.
Yu Cang wasn't sure about this matter. The best way to confirm it was to let Yuan Gang take the Bitter Divine Pill again, and then he would know whether it could be cured or not.
However, ever since he started working with Niu Youdao, he didn't dare to do anything to Yuan Gang, especially at this critical juncture. If Yuan Gang couldn't cure it and did such a thing to Niu Youdao's confidant, Niu Youdao would definitely fall out with him.
After interacting with Niu Youdao many times, he had already learned how difficult it was to deal with Niu Youdao. For example, this time, he finally understood that it wasn't a secret recipe that Niu Youdao couldn't write. It wasn't as complicated as Niu Youdao made it out to be. It was obvious that he wanted to extort money from him …
After the guests left, Guan Fangyi came. She walked to Yuan Gang and asked, "Daoye isn't here. What is he doing here?"
Yuan Gang, "Daoye asked him to come."
Guan Fangyi was suspicious. "Daoye went to the Mysterious Land of Heaven Capital. How did he contact Daoye?"
"He went to the Misty Pavilion and met Daoye before Daoye entered the Mysterious Land of Heaven Capital." Yuan Gang took out the Bank of the World notes and counted 20 of them in front of Guan Fangyi. He passed them to her, "Daoye gave them to you."
Guan Fangyi took a look and realized that each note could be exchanged for a million gold coins, which meant that he gave her 20 million at once.
She looked at the notes in Yuan Gang's hands and estimated that there were still 10 of them. She asked curiously, "Where did he get so much money from?"
Yuan Gang, "Daoye sold the recipe to Yu Cang. In the letter, he said that he took two Heaven Sword Talismans from you and asked him to pay for it. "
Guan Fangyi's eyes opened wide and she had the same judgment as Yuan Gang. She asked anxiously, "Did something happen to Daoye?"
Yuan Gang, "I don't know, he should have met with some trouble."
He even used his own money and said that the money from the Heaven Sword Talismans was just an excuse. Would that fellow be polite when spending her money? He was really making arrangements for his funeral. There was really a chance that he wouldn't be able to come back! Guan Fangyi looked at the notes in her hands and her eyes turned red. She wanted to cry!
She felt really bad. This man was willing to die to help her arrange a way out. Moreover, it wasn't because he admired her looks. She had finally met someone like this in her life, but she might not be able to see him again.
Yuan Gang didn't say anything else and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Guan Fangyi stopped him and asked, "What are you going to do with the fake Su Zhao?"
Yuan Gang stopped and said coldly, "I know what to do with him. You don't have to worry about it!" He left after saying that.
Indeed, after Niu Youdao left, there was indeed no one here who could control him.
Guan Fangyi raised her head and took in a deep breath. She made up her mind that she would do whatever it took to complete what Niu Youdao told her before he left.
…
In the pool of water under the towering tree, a naked man was soaking in the water. He leaned against a rock in the water with a comfortable expression on his face.
He didn't know if it was because he was too comfortable, but he felt a little drowsy. Suddenly, he was awakened by a rustling sound not far away.
He quickly sat up and realized that the clothes he left by the pool were gone. All he could see were his shoes and socks.
The man was shocked. He got up in a flash and rushed toward the source of the rustling sound. He saw an animal the size of a piglet with scales on its body. It was pulling on a white shirt and making a fuss.
When it saw the man, the piglet immediately ran away, but it tripped over the shirt it was pulling on.
The man pounced over like an eagle catching a chick. He grabbed the animal and lifted it up to take a look. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The shirt the animal was pulling on was his shirt. Because it made a hole in his shirt, its head went in and got stuck on its neck. It couldn't be removed, so it made a fuss.
